Inside The Cockpit: What Went Wrong On Air India's Phuket-Delhi Flight

An internal Air India Flight Safety report, accessed by NDTV, gives details of the chaotic few seconds on board when the co-pilot at the controls of the Airbus A320 was forced to push the aircraft into a sharp nose-down attitude to quickly gain airspeed and prevent the jet from stalling.

AI-2379, carrying 137 passengers and eight crew members, was on its way to Delhi from Phuket on August 4 when it experienced a sudden loss of altitude of 300 feet during its cruise phase. At least 20 passengers and four crew members were injured.
